I was just wondering if you had a way for dealing with nightmares. After the war.

Private to Dr. Tam

You had said something about maybe finding someone for me to talk to. When we last met.

	I have nightmares about that sometimes, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, if you have a magical little pill for getting rid of those, send it my way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think there is a magic pill. I took sedatives once, a while ago, and that was even worse than having nightmares. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't do sedatives either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe we both need therapy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You and Peeta seem to do so well though. I'd figured you'd put everything behind you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We've gotten better at living with it, day to day. And my nightmares come less often than they did ten years ago, but they still wake both of us up. I don't know if they'll ever entirely go away. I guess that's not the most comforting thing to hear when you're trying to get rid of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This [...] isn't usually my problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick nomorewings 2016-06-26 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	It isn't? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean [...] I have nightmares. But they don't usually bother anyone else. ~~People don't like to wake up to scared Victors.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. You've been through something new, Finnick. My nightmares aren't the same as they were before the war or before the arena, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick changingtide 2016-06-26 02:45 pm UTC (link)
	I just want it to stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick nomorewings 2016-06-26 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	What can I do to help? Do you want me to come and talk to someone with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick changingtide 2016-06-26 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	[...] you would do that for me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick nomorewings 2016-06-26 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I don't really want to go and talk to someone alone. It'd be better for me if you were there. But sure, we can pretend I'm being a selfless, helpful friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick changingtide 2016-06-26 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think I could talk about everything in front of someone. [...] I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick nomorewings 2016-06-26 03:08 pm UTC (link)
	I was mostly joking, you know. I would do it for you. But it's fine if that's not what you want. You can always talk to me, if that helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick changingtide 2016-06-26 03:11 pm UTC (link)
	I don't want to talk about it to anyone. I just want it to go away. I want to forget. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick nomorewings 2016-06-26 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure that's possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick changingtide 2016-06-26 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	Apparently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick nomorewings 2016-06-26 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, Finnick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katnick changingtide 2016-06-26 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	It's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent)
